Vintage hammered metal palm tree pendant 1950s retro jewelry deadstock

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage pendant depicts the stylized shape of a palm tree, an emblematic motif often associated with exoticism and the 1950s. The object, visible in the photo, presents an elongated silhouette with a trunk widened at the base and a crown of spread leaves, all finely hammered to create an irregular textured effect across the entire surface.

The pendant's finish offers a patinated metallic appearance, with golden and silvery reflections depending on the angle of the light, which accentuates the relief of the hammering. The top of the palm tree features an integrated circular ring, allowing it to be easily worn as a pendant or used as a charm on a keychain or bag accessory.

The overall style of the jewel clearly evokes the decorative aesthetic of the 1950s, with a craftsmanship typical of costume jewelry from that era. The hammered texture gives the pendant a unique character and a distinct retro charm, reinforced by the deliberate simplicity of the design.

The side visible in the image shows no apparent motifs, inscriptions, or marks. The surface shows some irregularities and manufacturing traces, characteristic of an object produced in the 1950s and stored without having been worn (deadstock).

The pendant is highlighted here against a raw wooden background, which brings out its metallic nuances and vintage appearance. No elements of size or proportion are indicated; only the general shape and the hammered finish are observable.

Condition
